I've used FileBackPC since '98 and it's the best. There are tons of options with manual or automatic control over many aspects. It supports schedules, realtime backups as changes are detected, or simply hit go. It's aware of file size and dates for fast incremental backups and can restore up to 99 versions of a file. It's fast and stable and I appreciate the adjustable nature of nearly everything. Even the logging and display is adjustable. Newer versions work with Microsoft Volume Shadow service to backup files that are in use. It's gained tons of features over the years but is still easy to use. It can automatically back up common file types for you or you pick specific folders yourself with a few clicks. The GUI works excellent and also supports text wildcards like *.doc or exclude all (*.tmp). It works with local and remote drives including reconnecting to network shares if needed. Updates come out regularly. Excellent

I say there are better backup apps out there than this one, for the same price or less. I uninstalled it because it did not update the backup profile when I wanted to add or subtract files. The real mess came when I uninstalled it. Their uninstall routine deleted several config and dll files which belonged to other applications. I was not asked if I wanted to delete them. I had to either restore those files from an image backup or reinstall the other software apps. Be careful!

Without a doubt this backup program is the absolute best. I ve tried them all and this one does everything. The rating here is all wrong, it deserves 5 stars.
